</div></div></div>Hi !<br><br>Well, The People's Google pretty much tells us where it was published <br>in under 0.8 seconds--might be faster in Korea though, with it <br>wonderful fiber-optic communication network.<br><br>That text was first published at RENK's website. RENK is the "Rescue <br>the North Korean People!" group/coalition in Japan (also known under <br>Rescue the North Korean People Urgent Action Network), in the mid-2000s <br>the most active of the Japanese NGOs doing work on human rights issues <br>in North Korea. I think Yi Yŏng-hwa 李英和 was their long-time <br>director, very intense personality, met him once in Beijing many years <br>ago. <br>In 2002 RENK's website was at bekkoame.ne.jp, which, if I recall that <br>right, was something like the Japanese version of what Geocities was in <br>the U.S. So, that site is down, but … it is of course archived; here <br>is a 2002 view of it:<br><a

All the <br>bad and ugly things archived forever. Tremendous resources for <br>voyeurists.<br>You find the link to the report you are looking for in the center of <br>above listed page (with red frame). Seems to have been published there <br>on Sept. 16, 2002 (but that date is only from another page referring to <br>it).<br><br>Frank<br></div> </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
